Great tour of Troy - Booking our tour of Troy through Hassle free travel as the name suggests was straight forward. Our friendly guide met us as agreed at the port and took us by private vehicle to Troy which was around 30 minutes drive away. The guides knowledge of the site and explanations of it were excellent. We really enjoyed our visit.
